[PATCH] arm64: lse: deal with clobbered x16 register after branch via PLT

The LSE atomics implementation uses runtime patching to patch in calls
to out of line non-LSE atomics implementations on cores that lack hardware
support for LSE. To avoid paying the overhead cost of a function call even
if no call ends up being made, the bl instruction is kept invisible to the
compiler, and the out of line implementations preserve all registers, not
just the ones that they must preserve as per the AAPCS64.

However, commit fd045f6cd98e ("arm64: add support for module PLTs") added
support for routing branch instructions via veneers if the branch target
offset exceeds the range of the ordinary relative branch instructions.
Since this deals with jump and call instructions that are exposed to ELF
relocations, the PLT code uses register x16 to hold the address of the
branch target when it performs an indirect branch-to-register, something
which is explicitly allowed by the AAPCS64 (and compiler generated code
does not expect register x16 to retain its value across a bl instruction).

Since the lse runtime patched bl instructions don't adhere to the AAPCS64,
they don't deal with this clobbering of register x16. So add it to the
clobber list of the asm() statements that perform the call instructions,
and drop x16 from the list of registers that are caller saved in the out
of line non-LSE implementations.
